I wish I could remember when I purchased this kit, it was a long time ago for sure, but I am so glad I dug it out and got it pieced! It is a wonderful quilt and I know I will enjoy it for years to come!<br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725680479947234546" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T5swI-4Qhp8/T3W0D4CknPI/AAAAAAAACgU/FchdjM39_4c/s320/100_2697.jpg" />I had an incident with my Gammill yesterday so I won't be able to quilt this until hubby replaces a few parts. :( I was quilting away and turned to look at the dog for a sec and hit one of the clamps that hold the quilt taught. I truly can't believe I did that!! The only bright side to this is that I will have more time to piece another quilt which I have already started, LOL! </p><br /><p>One more thing, I have a quilt kit and I can't find the pattern. It is call Curved Log Cabin, and if anyone happens to have a pattern they can share with me I would be eternally grateful! This is what happens to me when I don't immediately work on a quilt that I purchase!! </p><br /><p>Have a wonderful quilty day!<br /><br /></p>Cornfield Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17996609422685063918noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684546122062069306.post-25601925302598993222012-03-20T09:00:00.004-05:002012-03-20T09:07:11.707-05:00A New Beginning!I have been so lax in the sewing department this winter, started a new job, and am finally getting back in the groove of trying to do some piecing every day.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MUZzi_CpHCA/T2iNwh-aFcI/AAAAAAAACgI/JU1yi_8tyBQ/s1600/100_2693.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721979191467578818" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MUZzi_CpHCA/T2iNwh-aFcI/AAAAAAAACgI/JU1yi_8tyBQ/s320/100_2693.jpg" /></a> This quilt I am making now I have had for a very long time and decided I wanted it finished.

A different job, new interests, family issues, or I can just call it life. One thing that hasn't changed is I am still sewing and quilting but not as much as I would like. This quilt I finished piecing today and I realized how much I have missed sewing!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KSjr0eGZUao/TwIrGkkVPgI/AAAAAAAACfY/wEI7i6pBzCc/s1600/100_2670.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693160270845001218" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KSjr0eGZUao/TwIrGkkVPgI/AAAAAAAACfY/wEI7i6pBzCc/s320/100_2670.jpg" /></a> Time to check out some blogs to see what you are all doing!<br /><br /><br /><div></div>Cornfield Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17996609422685063918noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684546122062069306.post-59372559066684362522011-11-04T09:06:00.006-05:002011-11-04T09:23:07.761-05:00Yummy Fabrics!Had a great time last weekend with daughter being home! First thing on Saturday we made a run to a wonderful quilt shop and I found these yummy fabrics I just had to take home.

I have been trying to get my oldest quilts quilted and bound and am getting there slowly. This was not the oldest one but it has some age on it. Will get another oldie loaded in my machine later today I hope. Have a few days of free time so I had better take advantage of it. :D<br />This handsome guy below is my oldest grandson who turned 20 last week! Talk about feeling old, LOL!! He is a sophmore at Butler University in Indianapolis and is studying to be a teacher. I am so proud of him and I know his mother, who is looking down from heaven, is just as proud!<br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JE_EZk4QIoU/TqHbFElFqpI/AAAAAAAACd8/9PyX9wHXQXs/s1600/100_2652.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666050686383925906" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JE_EZk4QIoU/TqHbFElFqpI/AAAAAAAACd8/9PyX9wHXQXs/s320/100_2652.jpg" /></a>Cornfield Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17996609422685063918noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684546122062069306.post-18855095419679183422011-10-13T12:37:00.005-05:002011-10-13T12:48:30.665-05:00A Fun Finish!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YXdXOBQSyfU/TpcixHniNxI/AAAAAAAACd0/b7oIxMzo4gU/s1600/100_2649.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663033283695490834" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YXdXOBQSyfU/TpcixHniNxI/AAAAAAAACd0/b7oIxMzo4gU/s320/100_2649.jpg" /></a> I finally got this wonderful quilt done!

Alot of changes in my life have been happening and things have calmed down and are back to normal, whatever that may be. I have been doing alot of piecing but little quilting and so I thought I would start quilting again with this wonderful table runner. My dear friend Angela pieced this for me in exchange of my quilting one of her quilts. She does such a wonderful job piecing and that makes this runner even more special!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D063g-8niEA/TpXUqxVic5I/AAAAAAAACdM/TUudYUWpF9U/s1600/100_2645.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662665937751536530" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D063g-8niEA/TpXUqxVic5I/AAAAAAAACdM/TUudYUWpF9U/s320/100_2645.jpg" /></a> I have had this Thimbleberries kit in my house for I don't know how many years and am so happy that it is finished. It will be on display in my kitchen through the Thanksgiving holiday and I will love having it there to enjoy!<br />A little bit of what has been happening is that last November I had quit my job and spent many months at home quilting and enjoying my life. Alas the hubby wasn't too happy about it so I have been hired on at Wal-Mart an hour away. The fun part about my new job is that I work in the fabric department! I have had alot of fun there, talking to quilters and also to the college kids that come and buy fabric to make Halloween costumes and such!! I am amazed at how many of them are ambitious enough to do it! I can honestly say that it is never boring! That's about it. Now to go and check out what everyone else has been doing!!!<br /><br /></p>Cornfield Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17996609422685063918noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684546122062069306.post-74681838504400404382011-08-29T07:10:00.003-05:002011-08-29T07:18:20.197-05:00Fun Day Of Quilting-Finally!It seems like it has been months since I have been at my machine to quilt a quilt. Canning tomato juice and putting up corn has kept me pretty busy but now it is all about quilting again, YEAH! It's alot more fun and alot less messy than veggies!
<br />I feel a little rusty but it is getting smoother as I go along. I am loving it already!

I made one years ago and loved it. I needed a quick gift one day and decided to give it away. Alas, I missed it terribly and after all these years I finally made another one. My last one was all in browns and golds so I decided I would do the blues and reds and anything else I could find in my scrap bin.

I have vowed to get my stack of quilts done before I start a new one, it will be interesting to see how long I can hold out without using my rotary cutter on a new project!!!! :D

We had so much fun and I loved the fabrics. Below is a quilt that I have had forever but until recently did it get pieced. My friend Angela pieced it for me and she did a wonderful job! I finished quilting it yesterday and so this morning I got some pix. I love the way the quilts look in the early morning light.

I really enjoyed going to Joplin, MO and working out of the Grace Baptist Church to help victims. Our group built storage sheds out of lumber and set them at people's property so they would have storage to put their things. Below is a pix of me at the church parking lot waiting for more orders.

I also helped in the kitchen at the church, they fed the workers every day. It was fun serving them and so I got to see quite a few volunteers that way. I can not stress enough how much the people there are so gracious and still thank God for what they do have. They have set a wonderful example for us all, and I do ask that you all keep these people in your prayers!

We each made the big quilt for ourselves and then we made the small quilt to send to each other. Below is my little quilt that will be sent to Angela. My large sized quilt like the one below is now on my machine ready to be quilted, which is my plans for today.</p><br /><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WahxhNkHZxc/Ti1HLWqNowI/AAAAAAAACaE/q1CkNiSiNPk/s1600/100_2576.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633236969297126146" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WahxhNkHZxc/Ti1HLWqNowI/AAAAAAAACaE/q1CkNiSiNPk/s320/100_2576.jpg" /></a> I have really enjoyed doing this and am looking forward to more in the future!<br />Happy Quilting!!<br /></p>Cornfield Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17996609422685063918noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684546122062069306.post-72433198690520198632011-07-22T15:49:00.002-05:002011-07-22T15:55:40.511-05:00Christmas StockingAfter quilting a "Quilt-Along" quilt for my friend I got back to making some more Christmas blocks. <br /><br />I have some trimming to do and then on to the next one. Once thing about Christmas blocks is that it does help me think about cold weather! We had a nice shower earlier and it cooled off until the clouds moved on and then the sun came out and so did all the humidity! I guess I don't take the heat as well as I used to. :(<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zxKWTlREb8Y/TinipTB9GsI/AAAAAAAACZ8/uZUhvqU4Hzc/s1600/100_2574.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632282008114502338" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zxKWTlREb8Y/TinipTB9GsI/AAAAAAAACZ8/uZUhvqU4Hzc/s320/100_2574.jpg" /></a> Hope you all out there are staying cool wherever you are!Cornfield Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17996609422685063918noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684546122062069306.post-35305654445664093362011-07-21T17:07:00.003-05:002011-07-21T17:11:23.467-05:00Christmas Block #2These blocks are so much fun to make so far. Did have a dislexic (sp) moment putting this block together, had the middle part in upside down and backward. Talk about a wierd looking wreath! I guess I should have taken a pix of the "before" block and then the "after". Well, I guess we all have days like this!!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-62IqfC8D4_g/TiijX35vgXI/AAAAAAAACZ0/YIG-WGg6Ack/s1600/100_2570.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631930964565262706" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-62IqfC8D4_g/TiijX35vgXI/AAAAAAAACZ0/YIG-WGg6Ack/s320/100_2570.jpg" /></a>Cornfield Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17996609422685063918noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684546122062069306.post-67531498061465691852011-07-21T13:01:00.006-05:002011-07-21T17:14:34.149-05:00Christmas In July!It has been soooo hot here the last few days, the humidity is making it really miserable, and so today I decided to start piecing some Christmas blocks, it sure can't hurt!<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VmoMQL3erS8/Tihpvnnx3XI/AAAAAAAACZs/aS1yDCL9dkQ/s1600/100_2561.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631867600837401970" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VmoMQL3erS8/Tihpvnnx3XI/AAAAAAAACZs/aS1yDCL9dkQ/s320/100_2561.jpg" /></a> My quilty friend Angela has sent some patterns to me that she had used, and since I still have some Merry and Bright FQ's I decided to have some Christmas fun in July! </p><br /><p>Merry Christmas To All!!!!!!</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><br /></p>Cornfield Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17996609422685063918noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684546122062069306.post-51704084239615237542011-07-20T21:28:00.002-05:002011-07-20T21:35:45.732-05:00A Good CauseMy daughter is helping raise money for the grassroots bicycle tour that supports the effort of finding a cure for cancer.

In my older years :D I have picked out the Moda fabrics as my favorites and have never looked back. Well, I have quite a few kits of Thimbleberries and have decided to get these done and have fallen in love with the prints again. Below I have just finished up piecing a Log Cabin quilt that I will cherish. Each fabric brings back a special memory of the quilters and teachers that I will never forget.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iZx6yg3CtW8/TiWWTF0pcrI/AAAAAAAACZc/ETR92BG0dLU/s1600/100_2556.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631072163821351602" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iZx6yg3CtW8/TiWWTF0pcrI/AAAAAAAACZc/ETR92BG0dLU/s320/100_2556.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I took this pix so I could define the different fabrics at a glance.<br />I even kept the little threads attached until I get ready to quilt it.

It seems like I have been working on these two quilts forever but it has been alot of fun! My quilty friend Angela and I are making the little quilt for each other in each of our fabrics. Her fabrics are so girly and adorable and mine are more masculine looking. What a win-win situation in our opinion! <br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vjerky-mg70/ThyiulcFOvI/AAAAAAAACZU/a1o-fXI-1TQ/s1600/100_2534.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628552555513854706" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vjerky-mg70/ThyiulcFOvI/AAAAAAAACZU/a1o-fXI-1TQ/s320/100_2534.jpg" /></a> I just finished putting on the borders this afternoon so now it is time to quilt them both. Angela is hand quilting my quilt, I am so excited, and I will do hers by machine. They both are going to look so cool. :D<br />Here is a close up picture of the border fabric. I had a hard time deciding whether to go with the blue color or the red but finally decided on the red. I think it gives the look a little punch.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A8YdNzRK3x4/ThyiXaC3-jI/AAAAAAAACZM/gm9CVLlfYzA/s1600/100_2546.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628552157318347314" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A8YdNzRK3x4/ThyiXaC3-jI/AAAAAAAACZM/gm9CVLlfYzA/s320/100_2546.jpg" /></a> I just love doing these quilt alongs and love to see how all the other quilts look like!!</p><br /><p>Happy Quilting!</p>Cornfield Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17996609422685063918noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684546122062069306.post-43227643841331690032011-06-30T12:51:00.004-05:002011-06-30T13:05:48.704-05:00Finally Done Piecing!After a very nice quilter sent me some of her fabrics that I had run out of, I finally got all the blocks pieced and ready for the next step. My studio is a mess with little pieces of fabrics and thread, but oh, it was so worth it! This is one quilt that will stay with me forever, never to be gifted away.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-llE9oGBwWew/Tgy6hJFJC6I/AAAAAAAACY8/6rhqxZw7uec/s1600/100_2521.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624075113214839714" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-llE9oGBwWew/Tgy6hJFJC6I/AAAAAAAACY8/6rhqxZw7uec/s320/100_2521.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Off to the dentist I go.

I have a 20 minute drive to make to get there, thank heaven I live where I will take the back roads (through the country)to get to two towns over for my procedure.<br /><br />Have a great afternoon!

It is so pretty but since I am using FQ's I am afraid I might run short on a few and then I will have to make new ones. Oh well, when you don't know what the quilt will be that will happen. I can always order more fabric I guess. :D<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o6EFCaxo-ts/TgUDlLA-PKI/AAAAAAAACYQ/JDuSqgoW6_o/s1600/100_2514.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621903646988844194" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o6EFCaxo-ts/TgUDlLA-PKI/AAAAAAAACYQ/JDuSqgoW6_o/s320/100_2514.jpg" /></a> I really like the bright colors with these fabrics, gets me in the mood for the 4th of July!<br />Wow, and it is just around the corner!!
